Noel Nix, Principal Assistant to Commissioner Toni Carter Professor Chris Wells, Environmental Studies, Macalester College 1 Executive Summary & Research Goals Rondo Avenue Inc. (RAI) is a local Saint Paul Minnesota organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the cultural legacy of the historic Rondo neighborhood. In the last couple of years Rondo Avenue Inc. has been working to create the Rondo Commemorative Plaza and Gardens, a public space bringing the community together and celebrating Rondo history. In collaboration with the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA), RAI has requested a comprehensive bibliography of historic Rondo neighborhood information to act as an archive for the organization itself, but potentially to inform the Rondo Commemorative Plaza. Historically, St. Paul’s Rondo neighborhood drew in many African Americans migrating north from southern states throughout the twentieth century. Prior to the 1956 construction of highway 94 the Rondo neighborhood held a burgeoning working class community connected by men and women’s social clubs, many religious denominations, and community centers like Hallie Q. Brown. The construction of Highway 94 cut Rondo’s neighborhoods in half, an act that threatened to dissolve the community; families were forced to move from their homes, entrepreneurs forced to shut down businesses, and Rondo Community Interpretive Space Predesign community centers forced to relocate. The memory of Rondo from the 1960s to today has depended on community members, among the most involved are Marvin “Roger” Anderson and Floyd Smaller, to imagine an organization that would take seriously not only the preservation but also the celebration of Rondo from “Cornbread Hill” to “Oatmeal Valley.” In 2013, RAI celebrated their 30th Anniversary of Rondo Days, a yearly celebration of both St. Paul and broader Minnesota African American history. In a City of St. Paul Proclamation recognizing July 12th-21st, 2013 as “Rondo Days Festival,” St. Paul Mayor, Chris Coleman exclaimed that “after 25 years, Rondo Avenue continues to be a symbol of strong community pride, celebrating the best and brightest of Minnesota’s African-American stories, achievements and culture.” This survey of selection sources pertaining to the Rondo neighborhood in St. Paul and its large African American community has been gathered as a continued effort to celebrate the achievements of African Americans in Minnesota. The bibliography forthwith was a collaborative effort of scholars at Macalester College and the University of Minnesota, Rondo Avenue Inc., community members, family and friends. 2 Repositories and Abbreviations Rondo Ave, Incorporated.

  • Robert F. Williams, Negroes with Guns, Ch. 3-5, 1962
    National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox The Making of African American Identity: Vol. III, 1917-1968 Robert F. Williams R. C. Cohen Negroes With Guns *1962, Ch. 3-5 Robert F. Williams was born and raised in Monroe, North Carolina. After serving in the Marine Cops in the 1950s, he returned to Monroe and in 1956 assumed leadership of the nearly defunct local NAACP chapter; within six months its membership grew from six to two-hundred. Many of the new members were, like him, military veterans trained in the use of arms. In the late 1950s the unwillingness of Southern officials to address white violence against blacks made it increasingly difficult for the NAACP to keep all of its local chapters committed to non-violence. In 1959, after three white men were acquitted of assaulting black women in Monroe, Williams publicly proclaimed the right of African Americans to armed self-defense. The torrent of criticism this statement brought down on the NAACP prompted its leaders — including Thurgood Marshall, Roy Wilkins, and Martin Luther King, Jr. — to denounce Williams. The NAACP eventually suspended him, but he continued to make his case for self-defense. Williams in Tanzania, 1968 Chapter 3: The Struggle for Militancy in the NAACP Until my statement hit the national newspapers the national office of the NAACP had paid little attention to us. We had received little help from them in our struggles and our hour of need. Now they lost no time. The very next morning I received a long distance telephone call from the national office wanting to know if I had been quoted correctly.

May 2016 This project has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society. Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context ABSTRACT Saint Paul’s African American community is long established—rooted, yet dynamic. From their beginnings, Blacks in Minnesota have had tremendous impact on the state’s economy, culture, and political development. Although there has been an African American presence in Saint Paul for more than 150 years, adequate research has not been completed to account for and protect sites with significance to the community. One of the objectives outlined in the City of Saint Paul’s 2009 Historic Preservation Plan is the development of historic contexts “for the most threatened resource types and areas,” including immigrant and ethnic communities (City of Saint Paul 2009:12). The primary objective for development of this Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context Project (Context Study) was to lay a solid foundation for identification of key sites of historic significance and advancing preservation of these sites and the community’s stories.
